The Final Seduction novel Chapter 5

The club was already in chaos. The sudden blaze caused by some faulty wiring was spreading fast.

Amidst the heavy smoke, Brandon was only focused on searching for Nicole.

As for Roxanne, she had just barely made it out of the private room when she got shoved back in by the other panicked patrons who were making their escape. Somehow, the door had gotten locked too.

She banged on the door frantically. "Help! Anyone! Open the door!"

Everyone was in a rush to escape, and no one heard her cries for help.

Heavy smoke seeped in from under the door, causing Roxanne to cough uncontrollably.

She hurriedly took off her coat and used it to cover her nose and mouth, then ran over to the window. Just as flames licked their way into the room, she gathered all her courage, smashed her body against the glass, and then leaped out.

Roxanne was on the third floor of the club, so when she plummeted to the ground, the pain she felt was so intense that she couldn't even sit up. She had a feeling she had broken her leg.

When she glanced up at the crowd of survivors, she noticed that the rescued Nicole was clinging to Brandon, who was lying unconscious on a stretcher.

Filled with worry, Roxanne forced herself to stand up. Just then, emergency responders arrived and brought her into an ambulance too.

When they reached the hospital, Roxanne couldn't be bothered with her own treatment. She was in a rush to see Brandon, whose legs were covered in burns and blood. He was on his way to the trauma room.

"Brandon!"

Roxanne stumbled after the stretcher, eyeing him worriedly.

However, when Brandon groggily opened his eyes, the first words that came out of his mouth were, "Where's Nicole? Is she safe?"

Roxanne froze in place.

Brandon continued in a weak voice, "Let me see her. I need to make sure she's okay…"

The doctors were in a rush to send Brandon into the trauma room, but he was still relentlessly calling out for Nicole and insisting that he see her.

Roxanne said to him helplessly, "Brandon, listen to me. The doctors need to take care of your injuries. Your burns are very severe. They can't wait!"

But Brandon was only concerned with whether Nicole was safe or not. Nothing Roxanne said got through to him.

"Nicole! Let me see Nicole…"
